Rishi Tea at the 2009 Fancy Food Show!

Photo and review from Snag Wire Media:

Rishi Tea is pretty. In my book, half of the fun of making tea is enjoying the beauty of the tea leaf as I put it in the pot. Rishi Tea seems to be designed for people who really enjoy beauty and flavor in tea. They’re also fair trade and organic. The most lovely tea I tried was the Tropical Crimson Oranic Iced Tea.
